St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office investigators on Friday arrested a man in connection with a Sunday morning shooting at a Slidell nightclub, Capt. George Bonnett said. Dwight Travis Ambo, 22, was arrested in his hotel room at the Imperial Palace casino in Biloxi, Miss. and booked into the Harrison County jail as a fugitive, Bonnett said.

He will be charged with second-degree murder once he is transported to St. Tammany Parish, Bonnett said.

Ambo's girlfriend, Precious Thompson, 23, was with him and also was arrested, Bonnett said. Investigators have obtained warrants for Thompson, and she will be charged with one count of accessory to murder after the fact and one count of obstruction of justice when she is brought to St. Tammany Parish, he said.

Ambo is suspected in a shooting that occurred Sunday morning in the parking lot outside of Gloria's Bayou Lounge on Salmen Street in Slidell. Sherman Deas, 43, died of a gunshot wound to the right chest, St. Tammany Parish Coroner Dr. Peter Galvan has said.
